Magnificient Cumulus cloud

I was driving regional road 204 to Säkylä and it was raining quite heavily, but then I entered this opening and all of the sudden sun was shining brightly. I saw with my left that there was this tall cumulus cloud, kind of like mushroom cloud, but all white.

Cumulus clouds are low-level clouds characterized by their distinct puffy, cauliflower-like appearance. They form due to localized convection, where warm, moist air rises, cools, and condenses into visible water droplets or ice crystals.

The highest cumulonimbus clouds, which are a more intense type of cumulus cloud associated with thunderstorms, can reach peaks of up to 12,000 meters (39,000 feet) or even higher. So, while cumulus clouds themselves are generally found at lower altitudes, their more powerful cousins can soar to impressive heights

Dawn of the sunrise

Well, I was walking to the work this morning and the sun was about to rise. This gave a gorgeous clouds in the sky. I mean almost like a breathtaking gorgeous. This was about 30 minutes before the actual sunrise moment, the moment at which the upper limb of the Sun appears tangent to the horizon.

The street near me didn't have a good spot to take a photo, but I knew that when I got to the overpass, there would be kind of a good spot to take a photo. So, I just took these as a progress. Also There was a moon in the sky in the opposite direction I took a photo of that too, since that chimney was so purple.

I know that is kind of potato, but these were taken with Apple iPhone 13 mini, which is much better than my previous iPhone 7.

Few 5x zoom with the iPhone. And a few minutes later I was on the overpass and I captured these:

I actually had to walk back a bit to take this panorama as I had walked pass the Highway 9 that this over pass goes over.

Noctilucent clouds

Noctilucent clouds, or night shining clouds, are tenuous cloud-like phenomena in the upper atmosphere of Earth. They consist of ice crystals and are only visible during astronomical twilight. Noctilucent roughly means "night shining" in Latin. They are most often observed during the summer months from latitudes between ±50° and ±70°. Too faint to be seen in daylight, they are visible only when the observer and the lower layers of the atmosphere are in Earth's shadow, but while these very high clouds are still in sunlight. Recent studies suggest that increased atmospheric methane emissions produce additional water vapor once the methane molecules reach the mesosphere – creating, or reinforcing existing noctilucent clouds.

They are the highest clouds in Earth's atmosphere, located in the mesosphere at altitudes of around 76 to 85 km.

Burning February Sunset.

I has been a long time since I took a view from our balcony and it was great looking sunset tonight. I almost thought setting up a time lapse for it, but I knew by this time it was way too late for it, but there is always next evening to try it out.
